Bug Description

The Chrome OS version of the Pepper Flash provides DRM (needed by things such as Amazon Instant Video and Acorn TV), whereas the one included with Chrome by default (and provided by this package at "/usr/lib/adobe-flashplugin/libpepflashplayer.so") does not provide DRM (Chrome itself relies on DRMs provided via other methods.)

It would be nice if the Pepper Flash Chrome OS version would be used, because it is more functional. It has no more licensing problems than the currently used version.

It has been reported here as well because for some reason I could not add this project as affected.
